Mirrorcoin gave you the scoop on the nickel, I will give you the info on getting the date. You need to see a coin dealer and get a bottle of nic-a-date. Using it as directed will bring the date out. One thing, most collectors feel this damages the coin as it does make a stain where the date is to raise it. On the other side, you won't know the date unless you do it. if your local dealer does not have it or won't get it for you go to www.brooklyngallery.com they are a large supply dealer and sell at reasonable prices, they have it. Hope this helps on your quest.

With no date ,it is only worth about 8 cents .
The indians in Arizona buy them to make buckles and bolo ties .They also make other jewelry with them too .
They were minted from 1913 to 1938 At Phila.,Denver,and San Francisco mints.
